Toasted mate tea; has a rich and nutty taste; for the bold drinker!
I love this tea! It is very well balanced--the cinnamon is not overpowering, the safflowers provide just the right amount of depth. I'm buying a pack of this to take on my nightshift job.
Really good flavor, the packet smelled like rootbeer bottlecaps. I guess that must be from the Kola nut. It seems to be providing a decent amount of energy, because I don’t feel drowsy at all a couple hours later. This might be viable as a coffee and soda substitute, but more testing is necessary. Next step is to try it cold!
Great way to start your day. Even adding honey makes it great.
Drinking it now to help course the day as a teacher...much better tasting than coffee and the caffeine helps too.
I love this tea and I especially love that the second steeping is just as good as the first! I definitely feel a little energy boost after drinking this tea (and that’s coming from a tried and true coffee addict!).
My favorite new find at Adiago! Great way to start the morning.
This tea gets me up and going in the morning. I love its rich bold flavor and excellent taste. This tea tastes great hot or cold BTW. I am not too good at writing reviews. :(
This tea gives me an extra boost late morning. No jitters, just a level up of energy and no brain fog.
This is my absolute favorite! It's got a nice toasty slightly nutty flavor, tied together perfectly with cinnamon. It's great by itself and also wonderful with a splash of cream and a touch of honey.
Great cup of tea to start the day. I brew 12 - 16 oz with 2 teaspoons of rock sugar or agave. This tea sooths my throat for the amount of talking I do while in my meetings online. A good wake up and go tea.
I really like this tea. I bought it to hopefully replace coffee, energy drinks, etc. This hasn't replaced those for me yet but I do enjoy drinking it more than the other drinks. I also feel more clear headed when I do. I would recommend it to anyone really.
I’ve tried others for the morning, this is the best, no jitters or harsh after taste. Good flavor and smooth. Highly recommended it for fist cup at work.
I feel like not everyone would enjoy the taste, but I love it! Not a coffee drinker so this gives me the caffeine I need. A little honey and splash of oat milk takes this a long way! My new go to forsure
Delicious and a great way to start the day! Just enough spice to be interesting.
I really like this blend, it's an excellent pick-me-up!: Definitely a favorite for getting me up and moving!
This is a good morning beverage if you aren't wanting coffee but still want a boost!
What a great way to start your day, with this tea!
Underwhelming, unfortunately. It kind of just tastes like straight black tea. It does wake you up tho
Will never drink coffee again!!! The flavor and boost are amazing!!
Love this! Perfect way to start the day! A little strong at first but a smudge of sugar or honey or almond milk and you’re golden 👌🏼
It's good! I love having the caffeine in the morning.
honestly, i dont think i could get through my day if it didnt start with this tea
Love this tea! For those of you who like something a little stronger and more bitter in the morning, this is a great choice!
This is tea is tasty! It was hard for me to put my finger on the flavors but it gives you a nice taste in your mouth!
I think it's OK, although I'm not overly impressed with it. Although it's caffeine rich, the flavor seemed more like a relaxing, herbal flavor. Not really what I was hoping for.
Very good. Not my absolute favorite flavored tea from Adagio, but I'll definitely be ordering it again. I brewed as instructed.
This tasted a lot like coffee to me. Maybe I'm broken. I tried it with and without sugar (definitely better with sugar) and it was still pretty bitter with a weird... something taste. I can't quite describe it. Caffeine doesn't seem to affect me so this didn't jump start me either.
Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of coffee or this tea.
helped jump start the day, but left a funny after taste.
This has totally become my morning routine tea. I love the nutty notes in it .
We shopped with Teavana for years and fell in love with mate teas for the caffeine and the flavor. It helped us stay awake During my days and her nights at the hospital. My wife doesn’t particularly like coffee, so this was perfect for her.
The tea wasn't very flavorful to me but it definitely had a good caffeine kick.
This one tastes like traditional black tea to me. But it seems to give me that energy without upsetting my stomach like coffee does. A great substitute for coffee.
My favorite morning tea. It replaced my second cup of coffee. The flavor is less intense than a black tea which I enjoyed.
I am veteran coffee drinker and though, after reading this tea's description, that I might enjoy this tea as I transition off my morning coffee. For that purpose, it left something to be desired. There was no slow rev of caffeine, and I missed the round, smooth flavors of my coffee. This was a sharp taste, with slightly bitter edges, and a thinner body. But, perhaps it is unfair to judge a tea by coffee standards. In that case, this is a pleasant enough mid-day tea to stave off the 4:00pm slumps.
This tea has saved me many times. As someone who doesn't drink coffee, I like having an alternative.
Jump start has an amazing, one of a kind flavor with just the right combination of cinnamon, cocoa and kola nuts as well as safflower. It lives up to its name and gives a true burst of energy and jump start! It's excellent either iced or hot.
This is a nice tea and a change from black tea. The kola nuts give it a little extra kick, so you can know how awake you ll be when you drink it!
UPDATED: At the suggestion of a friend, I lowered the water temp to my oolong setting, and my opinion of this tea changed drastically. What I thought tasted like straw before now tastes sweet and earthy and cinnamon.
ORIGINAL:
I’m not a fan of mate to begin with, but this was a communiTEA, so I tried it anyway. It smelled and tasted like the straw you put in barns, and after a little while there was a little heat from the cinnamon.
I love waking up to this tea in the morning. its nice
a nice boost to start my day! The high caffeine content is well appreciated
My everyday morning tea. I'm a caffeine addict so I was looking for something strong. I do use more leaf than the package recommends, and I steep it longer as well. Really helps wake me up and I adore the taste and fragrance. Has a richness to it, and a slight hint of cinnamon. Lovely!
It's alright. Not exactly my favorite (my personal tastes), but not bad at all.
Not sure how, but when brewed hot this tea smells exactly like Thanksgiving morning. Delicious hot and plain, I'm saving this for the colder months.
Jump Start is energizing and strong blend that can easily replace coffee.
Works! Almost to the point of making me jittery. A little sharp in taste but not nearly so bad as coffee.
This was good, I like to blend this with stronger flavors though. Its a nice wake up in the mornings, but needed a little flavor kick, so I add a little of the butterscotch or cinnamon, etc. It turns out rather well.
Bold high caffeine tea great for slow to start mornings. Earthy and spicy flavors but not overwhelming. Great as a coffee alternative for even the most java-addicted of us!
Pretty good. Lately finding myself enjoying herbal teas more than caffeinated but this one is still good.
Love this! Earthy tones. Satisfying cup. Going to be a regular part of my mornings.
